To all whom it may concern; 13e, it known that wve. JOHN E. TErLiiY and JONATHAN S. HILL, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, .in the State of New York,have

' invented new and useful Improvements in Paper-Folding Machines, of which thefollowing,

' taken in connection with the-accompanying drawings, isa full, clear, and exact description.

V Thisinvention relates to that class of paperfolding machines which are used in connection with printing-presses, and in which a verticallyreciprocating blade presses across the 'central'portion of the paper-and passes the same between revolving rolls, which grip the paperfand in drawing it through between the rolls comprt ss the said paper into a folded condition. l

The invention consists in certain novel dcvices for transmitting motion to the folding- 7 after more fully described, and spec .35

blade; also. in novel means for automatically adjusting the paper in its requisite position under the folding-blade, also, in improved devices for guiding the paper from the folding rolls, which guiding devices are removable to permit of clearing the passage when obstructed by accidental entanglement of the paper.

' The invention also consists in a novel construction and arrangement ofdevi'ces fordelivering in a neat manner the folded paper from the-machine; and'the invention furthermore consists in various auxiliary devices employed in connection with the folding'bladc androlls and their actuating mechanism, alias herein- :all y set forth in the claims.

drawings. Abovethe said driving-shaft is a counter-shaft, O, on which is loosely mounted a gear-wheel, D, which meshes in a spur-wheel, D, fastened on the driving-shaft O. A clutch,;

E, slides on the shaft 0, andisprovided in-- ternall'y with :a groove by which it engages 1140f thedrawin'gs. Theside ofthe wheel D is provided with arigid projectionor lug, a, with shaft 0, extended along the lower portion of one side of the frame A and mounted in suit- 96 able boxes thereon, as shown in Fig. l of 'the' .with a spline on the shaft, as best seen in Fig.

which the clutch E is adapted to engage by sliding said clutch toward the wheel, the clutch being shifted by a hand-lever, E, pivoted on the frame A, as shown in Fig. l of the drawings. By throwing the clutch into its aforesaid engagement with the wheel D, rotary motion is imparted to the counter-shaft C, and by moving the clutch away from said wheel, so as to clear the lug a, the motion of the countersha-ft is stopped.

Inasmuch as some portions of the machine receive motion from the driving-shaft C by other counter-shafts than the shaft 0, it becomes necessary to time the action of the clutch E, so that all parts of the machine shall operate in harmony with each other and in order to insure this we employ an adjustable gage or guide, F, consistingof a sleeve loosely embracing the shaft 0 and extending through a box, F, which is rigidly secured to the frame A. Said sleeve is provided at the end facing the clutch E with a collar, 1), having a notch, b, as shown in Figs. 11 and 12 of the drawings. The opposite end of the aforesaid sleeve is screw-threaded and provided with a nut, 0. By turning said nut so as to cause it totravel toward the box F the collar I) on the opposite end of the sleeve is drawn tightly against the end of the box, and thus the gage or guide F is clamped in its position. The clutch E has projecting from it a tooth, (Z, which, by its collision with the collar b, prevents the clutch E from being moved out of engagement with the wheel I); but whenever the tooth comes into coincidence with the notch b the clutch E is allowed to be shifted to clear itself from the wheel D; hence the position of the notch 1) controls the action of the clutch, and consequently the movement of the counter-shaft C. It will therefore be observed that by turning the gage or guide F and clamping it in its requisite position the movement of the countershaft can be so adjusted thatthe mechanisms which receive motion therefrom act in perfect harmony with the mechanisms which receive motion from the driving-shaft through other shafts, as hereinafter described.

A vertical shaft, G, journaled in brackets secured to the corner of the frame A, has affixed to it at different points of its length aseries of bevel-pinions, e e c e, the first of which meshes in a bevel gear-wheel, H, secured to the end of the counter-shaft O. 1 1

From the pinions e e' motion is transmitted to the folding-rolls B and B by horizontal shafts g 9, provided. at each end with a bevel-pinion, h, which 'engage, respectively, with the aioresaidpinionse and e and with bevel-pinions h h on the shafts of the foldingrolls. The rolls B receive motion from the pinion c" by a horizontal shaft, g", which is [extended from the shaft G across the ends of the rolls B, and is provided with bevel-pinions meshing in the pinion e" and in a pinion on the end of one of the rolls B. From the Y shaft 9 motion is transmitted to the rolls B B by a vertical shaft, Z, provided at opposite ends with miter-pinions i i, which engage with miter-pinions 7a 7. respectively, on the end of the shaft 9 and on the end of the shaft of one of the rolls B. Respective companionrolls partake motion from the geared rolls by frictional contact of the convex surfaces.

The paper is conveyed from the printingpress to the uppermost or first set of foldingrolls, B B, by endless tapes I I, carried by 4 rolls or pulleys l I, which are mounted on shafts-I", only one of which is shown in the annexed drawings. This shaft receives motion from the drivingshaft C by the medium of a vertical shaft, K, which has attached to its two extremities two bevel-gears, Z Z, the lower of which engages a bevel gear-wheel, Z, fastened to the end of the driving-shaft, and the upper gear Z meshes in a bevel pinion, Z", which is rigidly attached to the hub m of a clutchdisk, m, mounted loosely on the end of the shaft 1''.

Collars attached to the shaft at-opposite ends ofthe hub m serve to confine the hub in its position, so as to maintain the pinion Z in engagement with the gear Z, as shown in Fig. 13 of the drawings. Another clutch-disk. m", slides on the shaft 1', and is normally held in engagement with the clutch-disk mtby a spring,

a, interposed between the clutch disk m and a collar, n", attached to the aforesaid shaft. 7

In order to render the movement of the shaft 1 intermittent, so as to stop the traveling tapes I while the paper passes between the folding-rolls B B, we provide the end portion of the shaft- 1 with an axial channel and introduce therein a push-bar, o. At'the inner end of the aforesaid'channel we provide both the shaft L and the sliding clu ch-disk m" with a transverse slot, in which a key, 0, is inserted, as illustrated in Fig. 13 ot' the drawings, the slot of the shaft being longer than that of the clutch-disk, so as to allow the push-bar o to push the clutclrdislcm away fromthe clutch-disk m by means of the aforesaid key.

A vertical shaft, L, has projecting from it in opposite directions two arms, p 1), one of which has its free end reaching across the end of the push-bar 0, and the other arm, 1), is secured. to the lower portion oftheshaft L, and has pivotedon its free end a friction roller,

0, which bears on a cam-disk, L, attached to the counter-shaft- O, as best seen in Figs. 1 and 13 of the drawings. The pressure of the pushbar against the arm 1), incident to the pressure of the spring non the slidingcluldh m, maintains the arm 1) in constant contact with the cam-disk L. i

M M M M represent the folding-blades, only one of which is shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings on account of their interference with the illustration of other important features of our invention. Fig; 1, however, illustrates the positions of all the blades, by the breaking .away of other parts of the machine. Said blades are arranged directly over'and parallel with the two adjacent sides of the respective sets of folding-rolls, and by a vertically-reciprocating movement press the central portion of the paper down between the folding-rolls, which grip the paper and press it into its requisite folded condition. '1 hereciproc'ating movement of the said folding-blades we ob tain by the following instrumentalities, to wit: On the counter-shaft O are secured a series of cam-wheels, N N, and over each of said camwheels is a vertical air-cylinder, O, in which the bottom of the cylinder, and has pivoted to its lower end a roller, r, by which it rides on the cam-wheel N. Aspring, s, is arranged the cam-wheel, the latter being of such contour that the rotation of said wheel imparts a reciprocating movement to the piston-rod.

vThe upper end of the cylinder 0 communicates with one end of another cylinder, 0'

which is arranged horizontal andhas likewise a piston the piston-rod of which projects through the opposite end of the cylinder 0,

and has secured to its outer end an inclined arm, a, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The folding blade M is carried on a guideplate, I; on which is pivoted a roller, 1*, by which-it rides on the arm in, aforesaid. The upward pressure of the piston qdrives the air from the cyiinder O to the secondary cylinder 0 land propels .the piston of the latter. This movement of the piston causes the inclined arm-u to raise the guide;plate P and foldingblade, M, connected therewith. .The succeeding descent of the piston q draws the air out of the cylinder 0, and back into the printingcylinder 0. The resultant vacuum in the secondary cylinder .0 causes the piston of the latter to retract. This draws the arm at toward the said cylinder and carries the depressed portion of said arm under the roller r, thereby allowing the guide -plate P, with its folding-blade M, to descend.

To compensate for any loss of airthat may occur during its transit from cylinderto cylinder, we provide the side of the cylinder 0 with a small aperture, 25, immediately above the piston q when at the bottom of the cyl inder. The folding-blade in its descent presses the central portion of thepaper between the folding-rolls, which grip thepaper and draw the same. through between them, the pressure of the rolls serving to press the paper into its requisite folded condition in the usual manner.

Incomparing the above description with the annexed drawings, we must call" attention to the fact that, owing to the peculiar relative positions of the'various folding-rolls and fold ing-blades, only one set, with its actuating mechanismdsfully illustrated in Figs. 11-and2 of the drawings; but, inasmuch as they are all .ley, o

substantially alike and certain parts thereof are well known in the state of the art, the foregoing description will enable others to avail-themselvosof our invention.

Two or more sets ofthe folding-rolls are pro- .vided with the usual cutting-disks on their ends for trimming the edges of the paper. Underneath one of the folding-rolls of each set we arrange a concave plate, R, for guiding the paper from said rolls to the succeeding folding-rolls, to which the paper is conveyed by guide-rods o 12, (shown more particularly in Fig. 3 of the drawings,) which rods support the paper while it is moved along by rollers '0' a, mounted on shafts 2;, arranged at right angles to the guide-rods, the first of said Shafts beingjournaled on the under side'of the concave plate R,which latter is provided with openings, through which a portion of theperipheries of the rollers protrude and impinge the peripheral'face of the folding-roll above the concave plate, as shown in Figs. 2, 6, and 8 of the drawings.

The frictional contact of the rollers 12, with the revolving folding'roll, imparts rotary mo- ,tion to the rollers '0', and by pulleys von the ends of the shafts v v and a driving-belt connecting 'said pulleys motion is transmitted to the said shafts and rollers. A tightening-pulbearing on the belt between two of the pulleys 12", serves .to maintain the belt at a proper tension. The concave plate R- we hinge at its lower longitudinal edge to aplate, R, rigidly secured to the frame A,and retain said concave plate in its requisite position under the folding-rolls by means of clampingscrews w. By removing or unfastening said screws, the concave plate R can be dropped away from the folding-roll whenever it becomes necessary to obtain access to the space above the concave plate, for removing paper that may have accidentally become. entangled. The

aforesaid dropping of the concave plate is illustrated in Fig. 7 of the drawings.

It will he observed that when the concave plate is in this dropped position the rollers 1:, which have their shafts connected with said plate, are. thrown out of frictional contact with.

the folding-roll, and therefore the motion of the several rollers r c is stopped simultaneously with the dropping of the concave plate,and thus'the propulsion of the entangled paper is prevented. Overthe plate R *we arrange a plate, R, which lies with one edge close to the folding-roll, so as to prevent the paper from rising and following the said roll.

In order to control the movement of the paper, so as to arrest it at the proper time to ,bring the center of the paper under the fold-' ing-blade M, we employ an adjustable head or .gage, w. of the form of a bar, through'which' one end of the respective guide-rods loosely pass, saidibar being supported by horizontal arms w"w, which project from the .head w and pass looselythrongh sockets w on the ends of the posts secured to the frame of the machine, as best seen in Figs. 3, 6, and 8 of the drawings. Said arrangement allows the head to be moved to a proper position to arrestthe movement of the paper, as aforesaid, and by a set-screw, 10', connected with the sockets and engaging the arm w", the head w is clamped in its requisite position.

For the adjustmentof the paper under the first folding-blade, the before-described head w is employed simply to arrest the movement of the paper. The centering of the paper un der the folding'blade is effected by the following instrumental ities, to wit: At opposite sides of the folding-blade, and parallel therewith, are two guides or gages, S S, mounted on ways which are secured to the top of the frame and allow said guides to move a limited distance toward and from the folding blade M, rods projecting rearward from the guides S and through a lug on the frame, and spiral springs S surround said rods between the aforesaid lug and guides S, serving to press said guides toward the folding-blade. Below the guides S S are two horizontalshafts, u u, on which are secured vertical levers T and T. To the upper ends of these levers are connected push-bars T, which reach nearly or quite to the guides S, at the opposite side of the folding-blade M, and have their free ends hung movable on the frame. Near the folding-blade M, at opposite sides thereof and parallel therewith, are two bars, ,u u, attached to the push-bars T, so as to be carried thereby toward and from the folding-blade M. The lever T is attached to the shaft u at the lower end of said lever, and between the two ends thereof is a rod, T, connected therewith and extended to and connected with the foot of the other lever, T, which is connected with the shaft to interrnediately between the two ends of said lever. A horizontal arm is fastened to the shalt u, to which the levers T are attached, and to said horizontal arm is Y connected a downwardly-extended pi-tman,

. ing motion to the pitman, said motion being rendered intermittent by the peculiar contour of the cam-groove a, which is of the form of two diainetrically-opposite disposed segments concentlic with the axis of the disk U, but of greatly different radii, one of said segments being near the center of the disk, while the other segment is near the periphery of the disk, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, the two segments being connectedat their extremi- -counter-shaft O.

ties by eccentrically-described segments. The disk U is so adjusted on the counter-shaft O that while the paper is being moved over the folding-rolls and to its position under the folding-blade the stud-pin of the pitman travels in the outer orlargerconcentric segment of the cam-groove a, which lifts the pitman T, and by means of the leverTT and rod '1" causes the -p ash-bars T to crowd the two guides S S apart,

to permit free movement of the paper to the head or stop w, at the same time the said pushbars carry the bars a it toward the passage of the folding-blade, so as to occupy the open space underneath said blade and support the central portion of the paper while being moved into the aforesaid position. By the time the paper has arrived at said stop one of the cocentric segments of the cam-groove a is carried in position to draw the pitman Tdown, thereby retracting the push-bars T and allowing the guides S S to move synchronously a sulficient distance toward the folding-blade M to push the paper into its requisite central posit-ion under the said blade. The retraction of the push-bars T draws the bars u u away from the passage of the folding-blade sufficiently to allow the latter todescend and force the center portion of the paper down between the bars u" u". The inner or smaller concentric segment of the cam-groove (1 leaves the aforesaid adjusting mechanisms dormant in theirlast-described posit-ion,while the foldingblade M presses the paper down between the folding-rolls, as illustrated in Fig. 6 of the drawings.

The delivery of the folded paper from the last set of folding-rolls we accomplish by the following instrumentalities, to wit: At the side of the last set of folding-rolls, and at a proper distance therefrom and parallel therewith, is arranged a guide, V, which extends some distance beyond the outer end of the foldingrolls, as shown in Figs. 2, 9, 14, and 15 of the drawings. The guide V consists of two parallel plates placed edgewise vertically and provided with a longitudinal slot, 1, in which slides a. block, 2, and on said block is pivoted a rack, W, from the pivoted end of which projects a cranked short arm, 3. On the side of the free end of the guide V is affixcd a plate, V, having a flaring guide-groove, 4, having its wide end facing the opposite end of the guide V.

From the small end of the flaring guidegroove 4 extends an inclined guide-groove, 5.

The block 2 receives a reciprocating motion from a cam or eccentric, W, mounted on the A lever, L", pivoted to an arm attached to the frame" A, has one end connected with the cam or eccentric W, so as to be actuated thereby. The opposite and longer end of the lever L is connected with the sliding block 2 by a rod, 6. The cam or eccentric W imparts oscillatory motion to the lever L, and the latter transmits reciprocating motion to'the sliding block 2 by the rod 6.-- The cam or eccentric W isadjusted on thecounter-shaft in sucha position in relation to the axis thereof as to cause the sliding block 2 to be retracted and the rack W to be carried in frontof the folding-rolls intime to receive the folded paper issuing from between saidrolls. As the rack W. is carried to the outer or free end of the guide V, the cranked short arm 3 of the rack enters first the flaring guide-groove 4 and then the inclined groove 5, and in the latter movement the free end of I the short arm 3 becomes so depressed as-to claim .as new,

'. attached. to the said 'M, guide-plate P, and the piston, and an in01iDedarm,.u,..extended--un-- cause it to swing the rack W vertically on its pivot and over into an iuverted'position, as
